What Spring Break?

If you're like me and most graduate student I've spoken to, Spring Break is a blessing, not because you get to go to cool places and spend time away from school work, but because there's finally a week to catch up on assignments, reading and research.

*sigh* alas, the quote in Ecclesiastes 12:12 is so true, "Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body."

The good news is that the GSO office will be open all week! Monday - Friday 10am - 6pm!

And there is a spread of Spring Holiday candy all over the office inspired by the artist Felix Gonzalez Torres! Jelly beans, chocolate, and stale Peeps. :9





We had such a great time at the GSO Social on Thursday night! Thanks to the GSO Programming Chair, Miciah Yehudah we had another fantastic event at Noche Lounge near Downtown Albany.

What I love about the event is that UAlbany graduate students from all different disciplines and departments have the opportunity to get together in an informal setting and mingle! It's so fascinating to watch the graduate student dynamics. Walking through the lounge one can listen to the conversations everyone is having, from academics to politics, from American Idol and Lost! Food was provided at Noche on us too! (Your GSO Funds at Work! :D And I must add the food was excellent last night.)

There will be one more GSO Social at Noche Lounge on the very last day after finals this semester. I'm looking forward to it!
